"I was in Los Angeles, and it was literally the worst time of my life," Lavigne said about her medical experience. "I was seeing every specialist, and literally like the top doctors... it was so stupid. They would pull up their computer and be like, 'Chronic fatigue syndrome' or 'Why don't you try to get out of bed, Avril, and just go play the piano?' or 'Are you depressed?'

"This is what they do to a lot of people that have Lyme disease. They don't have an answer for them, so they tell them... 'You're crazy.'

"I started going to other doctors and specifically telling them and asking, 'I have Lyme disease. I know I do. Can you check me?' Then I finally figured out, 'Find a Lyme specialist.'"

"I'm so excited to be this far along in my treatment. 6 months of fighting and killing!! Grateful for the Dr.s God gave me that I searched high and low for to help me. Powering through the last bit of this like a mother f***ing champion! Ps. Be careful wherever you are in the world of ticks and other insects that not only carry Lyme Disease but other infections too. EDUCATE YOURSELF. Most Dr.s are not literate in the world of Lyme. Do your own research (sic)!!"
